I'll Protect You: An Appledash Fanfiction |ON HOLD

Leave her alone Trixie

Applejack's POV
As I walked into class, I mentally sighed. It's a month into school already and I'm glad about it. At CHS, we have a buddy system of sorts and I'm the only sophomore who doesn't have a schedule partner because they pair people up starting with names that start with Z and go up. Since there's an uneven amount of sophomore, I dont have a partner. Your partner has the same schedule as touand you share a locker that's divided horizontally. I only took the top part because I want to be honest.
As I sat down in the slightly uncomfortable seat, the classroom intercom boomed,"Will Applejack please come down to the main office?" Everyone except my friends started going,"OOOOOOOOH! AJ'S IN TROUBLE!" I rolled my eyes and got up.
As I walked down the dark hallway, ideas began to pop into my brain. What if I get a locker partner? What if they're annoying? So many what ifs swirled in my brain.
I arrived at the office and opened the door. I saw Vice Principal Luna standing next to, or should I say in front of, a rainbow haired girl. "Ah, there you are Applejack!" She said. She beckoned for me to come over to the corner for some reason. "Uh, hi Ms.Luna. What's going on?" I said confused. She took a deep breath.
"This is Rainbow Dash. She's going to be your schedule partner. But she had some....traumatic experiences in the past and cannot be around boys and she doesn't like being touched. She already put her stuff in the locker and needs to be shown around. Since you'll be around her a lot, I thought you should show her around. I trust you." Ms.Luna said in hushed tones.
YEEHAW! I finally have a partner! Now the projects will be SOOO much easier. I go up to the slim girl. "Howdy sugarcube, my name's Applejack." She replies with a small wave. "Are ya ready to see the school?" She nods and follows me out the door.
As we head out the door, I hear a small voice, which I presumed was Rainbow's, say,"Well I guess now's a good time to introduce myself." I turn around and she continues. "I'm Rainbow Dash, but you can call me Rainbow or just Dash. So where are we heading first?" "Well Dash, nice to meet you. I like your hair." She blushes a light pink. "We are heading to History, which is taught by Miss Cheerilie. Right this way."
We continue down the hallway and after about twenty seconds, I look at the clock. Uh oh. Homeroom's about to let out. Remembering what the vice principal said, I started down the secret route I normally use. I know I was supposed to take the normal route, but almost all the boys hang out in that hallway and I didn't want the poor girl to have a panic attack or something. We arrive at the room and head in.
The only people in there were Fluttershy, Sunset, and Twilight. I give them the 'be nice and don't ask questions' look. Rainbow seems to lead towards the back, so I follow her. My friends move back with us and seem to form a little bubble of protection around Rainbow. Everyone else comes in and we start class.
Time skip to after classes to lunch (Because im lazy)
After our last morning class, we head to our locker and I grab my lunch money. Rainbow just hides from everyone next to me. I notice that she doesn't seem like she has money or a lunch bag. "Rainbow, where's your lunch?" I ask concerned. "I sorta forgot it at home?" She replies sadly. I hand her five bucks. She tries to give it back but i respond with,"Sugarcube, take it. I'm not letting my friend go hungry." "I-I'm your friend?" Dash stutters. "Of course! And you're sitting with me at lunch."
We head towards the lunchroom and run into, who else, Trixie. "Oh look, it's the new kid and hoedeo gal." Rainbow's eyes widen. Trixie, noticing this smirks. "Aww, is the wittle dumbass scared? Snips,Snails, I think she needs some....enlightenment." They attempt to push her, but I step in the way. I can tell Dash is curled up against the lockers behind me. "Trixie, why don't y'all leave her alone?" She gives me a smirk, pushes past me and walks away.
   I turn back to Dash, who was silently crying. I give her a gentle hug, which I almost immediately break out of, because she doesn't like to be touched. Surprisingly, she gives me a hug and I return it. I help her up and we head to lunch.
